Falcons Draft 2015: Fans React to Vic Beasley Selection on Twitter
The Atlanta Falcons’ pick is in, and they have selected Vic Beasley with their first draft choice. Here are your reactions to the Falcons’ first pick of the 2015 NFL Draft.
Beasley is a great pick, and fills the biggest need on the Falcons roster. He is arguably the best pure pass rusher in this year’s draft.
Atlanta needs to improve a number of areas on their roster if they are to return to the playoffs. Have they done so?
Here is some of the reaction from Twitter:
I like the pick for the #Falcons! Crowd here at Stats erupted with cheers! Welcome to Atlanta @VicBeasley3! #RiseUp

Man, I love the Falcons offseason. Love their low-key FA signings. Love this Beasley pick. Just need a better tight end to finish the job.

Gurley was so so tempting, but ultimately Vic Beasely is the right guy. Get the QB on the ground! #Falcons #RiseUp #NFLDraft2015

Now just imagine of the Falcons grabbed Bruce Irvin to pair with Beasley

DE Vic Beasley selected by #Falcons 8th overall. It's a need but I'm not sold. He will have to be coached up and gain weight. #NFLDraft

This is an exciting pick for the Falcons. They desperately needed help to their pass rush, and they have certainly got it in Beasley. He knows how to sack the quarterback for sure.

Beasley has also publicly revealed that he is a Falcons fan, so this seemed like the perfect move all along.
Can Beasley be the man to turn the Falcons’ defensive problems around? Can he help Atlanta rise off the ground of the defensive stats leaderboard?
So what do you make of the pick? Have the Falcons made the right move? Or should have they gone for a player like Todd Gurley first?
